The experience you had with that first doctor is unfortunate--there are a lot of doctors who are uninformed when it comes to anal cancer. I'm glad you are now in good hands and I hope you'll be able to get underway with the treatment on the 7th. Please let us know how it goes and come here if you have any questions that we can answer. We've all been there, done that, so there's lots of wisdom here. I wish you all the best.</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/235759%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/235759%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I'm 59 and was told of my diagnosis on March 29th. It was discovered during a routine colonoscopy on March 9th. The oncologist I was sent to spent most of the consultation trying to convince me that I had to be HIV. I fired him and now have a team that truly understands this particular cancer. I had the lesion excised on April 10th. I am Stage I, Grade 2. I was hoping to start the five weeks of chemo/radiation today but got put off by the surgeon who wants the excision to heal more. I see her tomorrow and hope to get the OK to start treatment on Monday, May 7th. I appreciate finding this site and know that every case is different but reading through the threads I certainly appreciate the advice from those who have gone before me.</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/235759%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/235759%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

<p>Hope you are ok emotionally. It's good that you found this forum.</p>

Besides if there was an age I'd want to freeze at, it wouldn't be 45. lol</p>
